Abstract: The invention relates to a bioreactor as well as a method for cultivating organic material: in particular cells, by means of a nutrient medium. For an intensive cultivation of the organic material in a simple and reliable handling a flow generating device is provided in the bioreactor according to the invention, by means of which the nutrient medium can be put into a flow, wherein a receiving device is arranged in the flow that is adapted for receiving and/or retaining the organic material and wherein the receiving device that is adapted for passing through the flowing nutrient medium is permeable. The method in accordance with the invention is characterized in that the nutrient medium is at least temporarily put into a flow, that the organic material, in particular cells, is retained in or at a receiving device, which is permeable to the nutrient medium and that the nutrient medium is passed through the receiving device.

Abstract: The process for depositing an adherent silver film, especially on a nonconducting substrate, involves depositing the silver film from the gas phase. A plasma discharge in a gas containing volatile silver organic compounds is used. The silver compounds advantageously contain silver atoms which are bonded to an sp.sup.2 -hybridized carbon atom and are halogen-containing, particularly fluorine-containing compounds. The compounds CF.sub.3 --CAg.dbd.CF--CF.sub.3, CF.sub.3 --CAg.dbd.CF.sub.2 and pentafluorophenyl silver may be used. The silver film so formed may be strengthened electrochemically or by chemical reduction. The silver film products are useful as electrically conducting, decorative or reflective layers.

Abstract: The method of making an electrically conductive polymer-metal compound having a predetermined electrical conductivity on a substrate includes the steps of preparing a reaction mixture of a gaseous metallo-organic compound, a metal-free gaseous organic compound and a carrier gas such as argon or mixtures of argon and hydrogen, producing a glow discharge zone in the reaction mixture and exposing the substrate to action of the gaseous metallo-organic compound and the metal-free gaseous organic compound in the glow discharge zone in such a way as to produce a film or layer of the polymer-metal compound with a predetermined electrical conductivity. The selection of the electrical conductivity can be made by setting at least one of a number of parameters of the process including the pressure and temperature of the glow discharge zone, the power density in the glow discharge and particularly the ratio of the amount of metal-free gaseous organic compound to carrier gas.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing metallic structures on inorganic non-conductive substrates, in which desired structures to be produced on the upper faces of the substrates are covered with screen means and the objects are then subjected to the action of reactive halogen-containing gases in a glow-discharge zone. Then the screen means are removed from the objects and they are metallized by known physical methods.

Abstract: A method of producing electrically conductive structures on non-conductors, in which the deposition of metallic films on non-conductive substrates is carried out by disintegration of metallo-organic compositions in a glow discharge zone of a plasma reactor.
